Install your unit in good ventilation, a cool, dry,
clean place – away from windows, heat sources,
vibration, dust, moisture, or cold. To avoid humming
sounds, locate the unit away from other electrical
appliances, motors, and transformers. To prevent
fire or electrical shock, do not expose to rain and
water.
•
Do not operate the unit upside-down. It may
overheat, possibly causing damage.
•
Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the
set, contact your dealer.
•
Do not use force on switches, knobs or cords.
•
When not planning to use this unit for long periods
of time (i.e.., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC
power plug from the wall outlet.
•
Grounding or polarization – Precautions should be
taken so that the grounding or polarization of the
unit is not defeated.
•
Do not clean the unit with chemical solvents; this
might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
•
Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING”
section on common operating errors before
concluding that your unit is faulty.
•
Do not place another component on top of this unit,
as damage or discoloration on the surface of the
unit may result.
•
To prevent damage by lightning, disconnect the
power cord from the wall outlet during an electrical
storm.

•
Keep this manual in a safe place for future
reference.
•
Never allow metallic items (e. g. screwdrivers, tools,
etc,) to come near the record/playback head
assembly. Doing so may not only scratch or
damage the head’s mirror-smooth finish, but also
change the magnetic characteristics of the heads,
causing a deterioration in reproduction quality.
•
Although the record/playback head used in this unit
is a high quality head with outstanding
reproduction characteristics, it can become dirty
through the use of old tapes or from dust
accumulation over time.
This can have a serious effect on reproduction
quality.
Clean the heads regularly with one of the
commonly available head cleaners or with cleaning
solutions as explained later in this manual.
